Pittsburg Visited by Rain That Causes Lassas of ThQuaaada of DoIlacs

Losses of Thousands of Dollars
 PrTTsBURG, July 20.-The protracted hot spell was broken tonight by the heaviest storm known here since the great Butchers Run disaster thirteen years ago, when nearly two hundred people were drowned. Fortu- nately tonight the storm was not attended by any fatalities as far as could be learned at midnight. The damage to property, how ever, will reach at least $100, 900. The stroke broke over the city about 6 o'clock and in two hours two and half inches of rain had fallen. The water poured down the hill street in torrents, flooding cellars and wash- ing away foundations. In the hill districts many houses were rendered unsafe and sev- eral were wrecked. Telegraph wires are down in all directions and heavy washouts are reported on the railroads leading east and west from the city. At midnight the rain was still falling with indications of its con tinuing all night Fatal cases of sunstroke occurred during the day. The mercury touched 93 this afternoon, but before II l o'clock tonight it fell twenty-five degrees.

The boys of the paid fire department at
Macon, often find waiting for fire alarms
quite irksome, and to amuse themselves col
lect all sorts of pets. At the truck house
several kinds of dogs, from the mite of a
black and tan to the tall, 1.-the greyhound,
have served to keep their several owners
amused. and not long ago they had par
rot. The latest addition to the collection is
a rattlesnake, which Harry Smith keeps in
bottle. 1t is said that before the lights
are turned down for the night the boys make
special examination of the cork to see If it
is secure in the bottle. The other night the
foot of one of the boys remained from UNI
der the blanket some time, and in turning
over his cold toe happened to touch his bed
fellow. He sprang from the bed with
veil, thinking the snake had gotten out of
the bottle, and the other boys thinking they
had been aroused for a fire, jumped into
their clothes and were soon slipping down
the pole into the truck room TO find that the
horses had not budged and hence no alarm
could have been turned in.
